I doubt this. No profession/ career can go into extinction. Rather, technology will boost their performances and probably open doors for new careers.

But, honestly, I can't say wat would become of the world in the nearest future. Technology is really changing the world.

White man no go sha kill person!

Generator/Mechanical Engineering Degree also

Business centre and cyber cafes were very lucrative in the past na, but technology has virtually killed off this once lucrative business.

Do you remember when futuristic movies would show a future full of robots? Well, that future isn’t so far away. The robots are coming, and they will take our jobs. The technological revolution we are in is not stopping anytime soon, and automation is a huge part of its growth. We have witnessed this change before, and that was the Industrial Revolution. The solution was creating a more educated workforce to handle more complex issues, and again our solution to this issue lies in education. When choosing a college degree, it is important to be cognizant of the changing world and its changing demands. And so, I have found 5 college degrees that will be sure to be obsolete with the advent of technology.

Accounting Degree

Basically, if Quickbooks can do it – you don’t really need your accountant. More and more companies are coming up with ways to do taxes online – from Turbo Tax to H & R Block. In house accounting is only truly necessary for larger companies, and tax accounting for most individuals can be done online directly. The changing course of this career requires less number crunching and more insight. A good alternative to this degree is finance, where you can be more dynamic in your career.

Hospitality and Tourism Degree

You know those kiosks that you check in to at the airport? That is the projected future of hotels. Majoring in hospitality and tourism is a mistake, because most of that industry can easily be replaced by technology. The need for hotel desk agents, travel agents, and more are truly dwindling.


Paralegal Degree

Most of the duties of a paralegal can easily be done by a computer these days. Filing and research can easily be done online, and does not require a human touch. Law itself can be replaced by technology, so paralegal studies is the obvious first cut to the industry.

Broadcast Communications Degree

Broadcast is an ever changing field. The TV is no longer the main news outlet, and a degree in broadcast communications focuses on an outdated technology. Communication efforts are changing daily, from Snapchat to Facebook – we get our news in a very different way these days.


Pharmacy Degree

Your prescription can be filled by a robot. That is a simple idea to grasp. More and more drugstores are turning to this idea of an automatic pick up or drop off, and there is no real need for a pharmacist in this world. Compounding is still relatively used, but as big pharmaceuticals dominate the playing field – the need for compounding will dwindle as well. Go big and become a doctor instead, as this job is very replaceable.


This is a frustrated jambite who choosed Uniben as first and second choice...There is total confusion in your brain.

Psoul:


See how low you have gone. So it has bn this bad that no part of your brain is functional anymore. Brother, you need a serious help and dat must be ASAP. Pastor T.B. might help you out.

Some stupid and ignorance idiot said mechanical engineering is going to be extincted in the future and I laff the dude in Swahili.

One of those ignoramus who think mechanical engineering is all about repairing cars and automobile in general.

bullseye90:


Don't mind the dude if only he knows some courses mechanical engineers do n where they can work. mechanical engineers can effectively man managerial positions. they r trained to manage man, MATERIAL and RESOURCES.
they can even work in hospitals. biomedical engineering is branch of mechani engineering. they design syri/nges, heart pacers., artificial implants, prothestics devices etc. in fact they use the concept of anthropometry to design devices that will be comfortable to the end users.
mechanical engineers r also involved in building services. plumbing, design of lifts, design of building powerplants, material testing, cooling load estimate, air-conditioning etc. provided a motion producing machine is used in any field of endeavor, mechanical engineers can work there. I can go on and on. I hope this little will awaken his shallow mind to the wide areas mechanical engineers function. Even the robots the OP is talking about is a product of engineeing. because Nigeria does not appreciate engineer does not mean it will go extinct. My ignorant fellow go and spread the word

kingofthejungle:
u must have studied mechanical engineering hope u realize the syllabus of DAT course can be taught to a computer especially with artificial intelligence

Sirwallace:


Of course it can. But who do you think is gonna design operate, maintain and program such software for the computer. It still boils down to the mechanical engineers

I tell you another one, do you think humans are the one assembling cars we use today? Of course not. Various assembly are done by robots in car factories operated and controllee by the engineers.
Any advancement in computer aided design is not completed in engineering without the engineers.

kingofthejungle:
exactly humans will take a monitoring role but in the long term the course will become almost nonexistent these things are hard to accept

Psoul:
Wen I say some courses will go extinction, I never mean they can't be studied at all in the colleges or universities. It means their relevance may not be as it is today.

smellingmenses:

Cafes are still very lucrative....at the right locations....even in Europe!

Op seems you need enlightenment... Paralegal duties can never and will never be subsumed by technology.... Computers search but not read or sieve for purpose of use and meanwhile lawyers don't have the time to start sieving or searching.
Pharmacy is going nowhere... Stop displaying shallowness.... The job of a pharmacist goes beyond just dispensing drugs...or recommending drugs...
Broadcast degrees or profession is what set NTA apart from other organizations in Nigeria...despite the national rot.... So many things are embedded in that degree which your pedestrian news outlets can't comprehend... Why do you think some of us buy The Guardian newspaper as the main source of information?
Accounting profession: You just spoke like a wind.... Have you ever examined the contents of an accounting syllabus before? If not try to view ACA ACCA CAMA syllabuses then see what combinations top flight accountants hold.... CISA MCSE ETHICAL HACKING. LAW ECONOMICS AND A HOST OF OTHERS
D
STOP SPREADING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW... PEOPLE HAVE MOVED BEYOND YOUR LEVEL OF REASONING
